| Q: |
Can I adequately perform equine massage after only 5 days of instruction? |
| A: |
Yes!! See our Letters of Endorsement and our Billy Letters. DVD’s are sent out to you upon receiving your deposit for you to practice before attending school. You will be amazed at how simple and clear my presentation is, and you will be able to grasp the instruction quite easily, no matter who, or how old you are. My youngest student was 11, and my oldest 63 years of age.

| Q: |
What is it like at the school? |
| A: |
O K, Goggle GLAMPING, this will give you a really good idea.
The view is spectacular, breakfast and lunches are simple, evening meals are Gourmet/organic, lodging is upscale spacious queen size sleeping arrangement camping, (very comfortable, and enjoyable), showers and restrooms are in two locations, main cabin, and lower area of the property, you have a choice. Main cabin also lends itself to comfortable sleeping for the women, upper cabin is for the fellas, however warm summer evenings are best enjoyed out under the stars. Out doors is where the teacher sleeps, he loves the sounds of nature at night, you will as well. A lot of work has gone into this set-up to make it a wonderful experience at the equine therapy program.
